RESUMO

Objective: To assess the profile of allergist/immunologist (A/I) physicians in Brazil, the workplace, the access to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on professional practice. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted as an online survey. All adhering members of the Brazilian Association of Allergy and Immunology (ASBAI) received a Google Forms tool by email. The questionnaire addressed sociodemographic and professional aspects of the Brazilian allergists/immunologists (A/I) daily routine. The information was analyzed by SPSS version 20.0. Results: Four hundred and sixty members answered the questionnaire. Women were predominant among the responders (336; 73%), and the median age was 47 years (range, 27-82 years). Most participants worked in the private sector (437, 95%), whereas 256 (47%) worked in the public sector. Among the public sector employees, 210 (82%) reported having access to some diagnostic test for allergic diseases and inborn errors of immunity. Only 91 (35%) A/I physicians in the public system had access to allergen-specific immunotherapy, compared to 416 (95, 9%) of those in the private sector. Regarding biological drugs, 135 (52.7%) and 314 (71.9%) of the A/I physicians working in the public and private sector, respectively, reported access. Two hundred and eighty-three (61.6%) had at least a 50% reduction in the number of consultations, and 245 (56%) provided telemedicine care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusion: Brazilian A/I have incorporated the most recent advances in managing immunoallergic diseases into their clinical practice, but they still have little access to various diagnostic methods. Strategies to enable the presence of A/I in public health services should be discussed and implemented. The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated the incorporation of telemedicine as a viable and promising method of medical care and can expand access to the specialty.

RESUMO

Nas comemorações dos 60 anos da regulamentação da Psicologia no Brasil, este estudo ressalta o espaço e o debate que a Assistência Social ganhou na história da nossa ciência e profissão, com a análise sobre o panorama da profissão no Suas no período entre 2011 e 2019. O objetivo foi nos deter sobre os rebatimentos que a Assistência Social tem enfrentado e seus efeitos sobre a profissão, a partir dos acontecimentos que configuraram a difícil conjuntura política que assola o país, resultado do encerramento do Ciclo Democrático Popular com o golpe de 2016, a adoção de políticas de austeridade econômica impostas pelos governos subsequentes e o desmonte das políticas públicas. O método foi orientado por um estudo quantitativo com base nos microdados do Censo Suas no período indicado. Nos resultados, percebe-se a partir de 2016 uma desaceleração no curso de expansão dos equipamentos que compõem a Rede Suas e na formação das equipes de trabalho, incluindo profissionais da Psicologia. O perfil profissional de psicólogas(os) no Suas segue composto sobretudo por mulheres, com idade entre 30 e 39 anos, contando apenas com graduação. Ressalta-se o aprofundamento da precarização dos vínculos de trabalho, aspecto que recai com maior peso sobre as profissionais do sexo feminino se comparado aos do masculino que atuam no Suas. Conclui-se que a Assistência Social segue como importante área de absorção de psicólogas(os), sobretudo de início de carreira, porém há intensificação da precarização do trabalho, que recai com maior peso sobre as mulheres.(AU)

Amidst the 60th anniversary of the regulation of Psychology in Brazil, this study highlights the space and debate that Social Welfare has gained in the history of our science and profession, outlining a panorama of the profession in the SUAS between 2011 and 2019. This paper dwells on the repercussions that Social Welfare has faced and its effects on the profession, based on the difficult political conjuncture that plagues the country, resulting from the closure of the Popular Democratic Cycle with the 2016 coup, the adoption of economic austerity policies imposed by subsequent governments and the dismantling of public policies. This quantitative study uses microdata collected from the SUAS Census, in the indicated period. Results show a slowdown in the expansion of the SUAS Network's equipment and the training of work teams, including Psychology professionals, from 2016 onwards. The professional profile of SUAS psychologists is still made up mostly of women, aged between 30 and 39 years old, with only undergraduate degrees. These findings emphasize the enhanced job insecurity, an aspect that falls more heavily on female professionals when compared to men working in the SUAS. In conclusion, Social Welfare remains an important area for the absorption of psychologists, especially in the beginning of their careers, but with greater job insecurity, which weighs more heavily on female professionals.(AU)

En 60 años de la regulación de la Psicología en Brasil, señalamos la importancia de que la Asistencia Social ha ganado en la historia de nuestra ciencia y profesión, con un análisis del panorama de la profesión en el SUAS en el período entre 2011-2019. El objetivo fue centrarse en las repercusiones que ha enfrentado la Asistencia Social y sus efectos en la profesión, a partir de los acontecimientos que han configurado la difícil coyuntura política que ha azotado al país, después el golpe de Estado de 2016, con el desmantelamiento de las políticas públicas. Como método se aplicó un estudio cuantitativo basado en los microdatos del Censo SUAS, en el período indicado. Los resultados muestran que a partir de 2016 hubo una disminución en la ampliación de las instalaciones que conforman la Red SUAS y en la propia formación de los equipos de trabajo, incluidos los psicólogos. El perfil profesional de las/os psicólogas/os en el SUAS sigue siendo mayoritariamente de mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre los 30 y los 39 años, y solo con titulación de grado. Se destaca la profundización de la precariedad de los vínculos laborales, aspecto que recae con mayor fuerza sobre las mujeres de la profesión si se compara con los hombres. Se concluye que la Asistencia Social sigue siendo un área importante para la absorción de las/os psicólogas/os, sobre todo al inicio de la carrera, pero con una mayor intensificación de la precariedad laboral sobre las mujeres.(AU)

RESUMO

A Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira vem produzindo mudanças na compreensão e cuidado aos indivíduos com transtornos mentais, sendo o Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) o serviço responsável pelo atendimento desses sujeitos. Essa pesquisa busca compreender como é o perfil dos profissionais que atuam no CAPS e o entendimento dos mesmos sobre o transtorno mental, sua evolução e frequência. Foram realizadas entrevistas com profissionais de nível superior. As entrevistas foram submetidas à análise de conteúdo de Bardin, das quais originou 3 categorias. Os resultados mostraram que todos os profissionais possuem especializações. Acreditam que o sofrimento mental é complexo, anunciando algo que muitas vezes não é dito e revelado, como porta-voz da sociedade. Os transtornos mais frequentes são o transtorno bipolar, os de personalidade e do espectro da esquizofrenia. O perfil e atuação desses profissionais demonstram que a Reforma Psiquiátrica tem sido efetiva nesse CAPS.

The Brazilian Psychiatric Reform has been producing changes in the understanding and care of individuals with mental disorders, and the Psychosocial Attention Center (CAPS) is the service responsible for these subjects. This research has the objective to understand the profile of the professionals working in the CAPS and their understanding of the mental disorder, its evolution and frequency. Interviews were conducted with professionals of higher education. The interviews were submitted to the content analysis of Bardin, from which 3 categories originated. The results showed that all professionals have specializations. They believe that mental suffering is complex, announcing what is often not said and revealed, as a society's spokesperson. The most frequent disorders are bipolar disorder, personality disorders and spectrum of schizophrenia. The profile and the understanding of these professionals demonstrate that the Psychiatric Reform has been effective in this CAPS.

RESUMO

Este estudo descreve a atuação dos psicólogos no campo da POT no sul do Brasil. 300 participantes que atuam nos três estados da Região Sul responderam a um questionário online. Os resultados indicaram que: são mulheres (88,3%), têm até 49 anos (75,3%), são especialistas (62,7%), registrados no CRP (90%), realizam atividades de atualização (76,3%), fundamentam seu trabalho em alguma teoria psicológica (47%), realizam avaliação psicológica (63,7%) e emitem laudos (60%), não são contratados como psicólogos (72,1%) e atuam de forma predominantemente individual. Suas principais atividades são predominantemente relacionadas à gestão de pessoas (99%), destacadamente em treinamento (55%) e recrutamento e seleção (53%). Contrariamente aos relatos da literatura sobre POT, o campo de atuação profissional continua restrito às atividades tradicionais que o caracterizaram ao longo do século XX. Conclui-se que compete aos profissionais da área esforços para a ampliar o campo, já que isso não surgirá como demanda espontânea das organizações.

This study describes the scope of practice of work and organizational (I/O) psychologists in the Southern Region of Brazil. A total of 300 participants who work in the three states of the Southern Region answered a questionnaire online. Results indicated that they: are mainly women (88.3%), up to 49 years old (75.3%), specialists (62.7%), registered with the Regional Council on Psychology (CRP) (90%), engage in activities to stay up-to-date (76.3%), base their work on some psychological theory (47%), do psychological evaluations (63.7%) and issue psychological reports (60%), are not contracted as psychologists (72.1%), and mainly work individually. Their main activities are predominantly related to human resources management (99%), especially training (55%), and recruitment and selection (53%). Contrary to the literature on I/O psychology, the scope of practice remains restricted to the traditional activities developed throughout the twentieth century. We conclude that it is the responsibility of professionals working in the field to expand it, since this will not emerge as spontaneous demand from organizations.

Sus actividades principales están relacionadas con la gestión de recursos humanos (99%), especialmente la capacitación, (55%) reclutamiento y selección (53%). Contrariamente a la literatura sobre POT, el alcance de la práctica sigue restricta a las actividades tradicionales desarrolladas a lo largo del siglo XX.

RESUMO

Un aporte necesario para comprender la situación actual del ejercicio odontológico es la creación de nuevas leyes, las cuales se han implementado en concordancia con las transformaciones socioeconómicas. Se podría afirmar que nuevas estrategias de mercado, control de calidad, urbanización e industrialización han entrado al panorama laboral y académico y han modificado la práctica odontológica y, con ello, se han derivado cambios racionales dentro de los currículos universitarios en Colombia. Asimismo, estos cambios han afectado los perfiles de los nuevos odontólogos egresados de estas instituciones, a quienes se les convoca de manera tácita a formar un profesional acorde con un escenario laboral que asume nuevos retos con el cambio. Se puede evidenciar que los cambios administrativos ya se implementan en los currículos de las facultades de odontología en Colombia, de acuerdo con las exigencias proyectadas en la normatividad del Ministerio de Educación y el Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social. De este modo, se ha adoptado un perfil profesional y una práctica orientada no solo a desarrollar capacidades para diagnosticar y tratar técnicamente enfermedades de manera individual en un consultorio, sino también a integrar otros aspectos para resolver problemas de orden individual y comunitario. Sin embargo, no hay una conexión coherente entre el esfuerzo de quienes orientan el proceso formativo hacia una formación sociohumanística y el funcionamiento del actual sistema de prestación de servicios en salud, el cual demanda un profesional enfocado en sus habilidades técnicas y deja en un segundo plano las necesidades que surgen en el contexto social.

A necessary contribution to understand the current situation of the dental practice is the creation of new laws, which have been implemented in accordance with socio-economic transformations. It could be said that new market strategies, quality control, urbanization and industrialization have entered in the labor scenario and have modified the dental practice, thus, have led to rational changes within the university curricula in Colombia, and in the profiles of the new dentists graduated from these institutions, who are summoned in a tacit manner to educate a professional according to a labor scenario that assumes new challenges as a result of changes. It can be evidenced that administrative changes are already implemented in the curricula of the dental faculties in Colombia, in accordance with the requirements stablished in the provisions of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, adopting a professional profile and a performance focused not just to develop skills to diagnose and technically treat diseases in an individual basis in a dentist office, but also to integrate other aspects oriented to solve not only individual, but also community problems. However, the effort of those who guide the educational process towards a socio-humanistic education, does not meet a coherent connection with the way the current health care service system works, which demands a professional focused on technical skills, and leaving in a second place the needs that arise in the social context.

Uma contribuição necessária para compreender a situação atual da prática odontológica é a criação de novas leis, que foram implementadas de acordo com as transformações socioeconômicas. Pode-se dizer que novas estratégias de mercado, controle de qualidade, urbanização e industrialização mudaram a prática odontológica e levaram a mudanças racionais dentro dos currículos universitários na Colômbia e os perfis dos novos dentistas formados nessas instituições, que são convocadas de forma tácita para formar um profissional de acordo com um cenário de trabalho que assume novos desafios com a mudança. É possível mostrar que as mudanças administrativas já são implementadas nos currículos das faculdades de odontologia na Colômbia, de acordo com os requisitos previstos nos regulamentos do Ministério da Educação e do Ministério da Saúde e Proteção Social, adotando um perfil profissional e uma prática orientada não apenas a desenvolver capacidades para diagnosticar e tratar tecnicamente doenças de forma individual em um consultório, mas também a integrar outros aspectos orientados a resolver problemas não apenas individuais, mas também comunitários. No entanto, o esforço de quem orienta o processo de formação para uma formação sócio-humanística não encontra uma conexão coerente com o funcionamento do atual sistema de prestação de serviços de saúde, que exige um profissional focado em suas habilidades técnicas, deixando em segundo lugar, as necessidades que surgem no contexto social.
